Miscellaneous books and pamphlets relating to the trial

The material here offers analytical and autobiographical accounts of some of the chief accused in the Meerut trial, namely Philip Spratt and Lester Hutchinson. There are also a plethora of pamphlets and other material in support of the prisoners from following arrest in 1929 to conviction in 1933. Drawn from both the Labour History Archive & Study Centre and Working Class Movement Library, these documents provide a comprehensive window into how those of the British Left reacted to the protracted trial.
